Vay. Bu kadar taşınmayı beklemiyordum. Hikayenin özetini okudum, sonu biliyordum. Kendimi kötü yağma alışkanlığım var. Genellikle ilk önce bir kitabın son sayfasını okuyun. Ama evlat ... Açlık Oyunları sert. Ve çok sevdim. Uf !! Ne yolculuk ama. Sanırım bir süreliğine bazı büyük tüyleri okumam gerekiyor. İyileşmek.

Delightful romantic suspense, and a good summer read. Sort of Georgette Heyer meets V.I. Warshawski.

In many ways, the Twilight Saga could easily be a trilogy. Eclipse was far better than New Moon, where I thought New Moon simply spun its wheels for the majority of the book, Eclipse had a far more appropriate (read: interesting) pace. This book however, makes it obvious that this series was written for 13 year old girls. Edward and Bella toy with the idea of marriage and sex, and to any adult, you just want to scream "for all that is undead, get it OVER with already...," but when you remember back to when you had to wrestle with your own mores, values and virginity versus your love, lust and hormones, these near misses seem far more relatable in context. The book is far less 90210 than its predecessors, Bella's human friends get barely a mention, and that's fine with me. If I wanted to read a book about high school, I'd go back to reading Sweet Valley High. Instead this book starts to address the larger mythical creature world that exists out of Forks. I appreciated that this book started to create a mythology all its own. While the end of New Moon did start this mythology, it was grateful to see it flushed out in this book. It makes things far more readable. Despite being a better book, it is still flawed. Things happen too easily, outcomes are predictable, for the most part there's nothing that will surprise you at all. The big twist at the end of the book really wasn't to any astute reader, but once again, Stephenie Meyer's writing it so fluid and rich that you really don't care, you're along for the ride regardless.

it is great stays open to the page i need it to, small and looks good. love the feel and just nice when i don't want to lug around my study bible.

Some parts of this book were great: learning about the agriculture of the Northwest and the people who are devoted to keeping it going strong as well as the great (and not so great) meals that this couple came up with because they were forced to think differently. Other parts languished, perhaps because it seems like I've heard it all a million times before: eat locally, food travels 1500 miles or more to get to your plate, we're running out of resources, etc. Somehow it seemed a little trite coming from this couple who decided to eat like this for one year on a whim. I must applaud them for trying to show that even urbanites (and suburbanites) can eat locally or more consciously without growing everything themselves. They showed how our society has become so distant from each other that it takes an internet search to track down a farmer or fisherman only 10 miles from your house. It was a quick read, and mildly entertaining, but a better book of this type would be Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle".
